Well there was considerable debate, and I'll have to admit that I wasn't 
100% on-board with the changes, but in the end it's all good. I'd have 
to say that the main reason(s) for the re-org was to address previous 
inefficiencies (some sections were missing) and to give the layout a 
less "tacked on" appearance. If something is grossly out of whack, sure 
I'd say fix it, however I'm fairly pleased with the end results.
